NASA’s Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR), led by Caltech and managed by JPL, turned 10 years old in June. This space telescope detects high-energy X-ray light and studies some of the most energetic objects and processes in the universe.

Fiona Harrison discusses ten years of exploring the high-energy Universe with NuSTAR in this Small Steps, Giant Leaps podcast episode.

The Ten years of High-Energy Universe in Focus: NuSTAR 2022 meeting will be held in Cagliari, Italy on June 20–22, 2022. Registration is open now!

NuSTAR has provided an unprecedented view of high energy objects, such as remnants of supernova explosions, like black holes and neutron stars, as well as the monster black holes that live in the centers of galaxies.

9 years of bringing the High Energy X-ray sky into Focus

NuSTAR reached its 8th launch anniversary on June 13th, 2020

NuSTAR observatory operations are continuing during the COVID-19 pandemic with staff from the Science and Mission Operations Centers (Caltech and UC Berkeley) supporting the mission remotely.

On Thursday, July 26th, the Hudson River Museum was at Cross County Shopping Center, putting on a series of science projects as part of SummerFest on the Cross County Green. During the “Summer Skies” event, visitors participated in demonstrations and projects and created items to take home. They explored gravity and light, and made of a model of the NuSTAR space telescope.

NASA has announced the fourth opportunity for scientists around the world to propose for observations using the NuSTAR X-ray space telescope. This Guest Observer (GO) Program is part of an extended mission plan approved by NASA that offers observing time for basic research investigations selected in a competitive process. Proposals for observations to be made within the four cycle of the NuSTAR GO program are due on Jan 19, 2018. Click through for more information.

To celebrate the fifth anniversary of NASA's NuSTAR space mission, the mission's lead scientist, Fiona Harrison of Caltech, talks about some of her favorite images.
